Description Alain 2015-08-16 05:06:01 UTC
Title and  caption (+ author)  are not displayed in right side-view "captions/tags" of the image editor. Similarly, when you write a title and a caption in the image editor, once you apply, they are saved but disappear.

Not reproducible here. I tried with a lots of photo without to be able to see this dysfunction.

Which kind of image type your try to tag ? Did you write metadata to image ? If yes, which settings did you use ?

Also, turn on debug spaces and run digiKam from a console while you reproduce the problem. See here for details :

Ok, I understood the problem: it was a fresh installation and the language metadata was not defined neither x-default nor a specific language.
Once I selected x-default or a language, it works well for the image and the following.

In digikamrc :
[ImageViewer Settings] [Right Sidebar] [Captions Tags Properties Tab]
ImageDescEditTab CaptionsLang =
ImageDescEditTab TitleLang =
were empty, like that.

So to reproduce the problem, you must delete the values and restart digikam.

Note: In a fresh installation, ImageDescEditTab CaptionsLang TitleLang and is set to x-default for [Digikam Right Sidebar]
but is empty for [ImageViewer Settings] and [LightTable Settings] [Left Sidebar] + [Right Sidebar].

Thanks.
Alain
